Field Archaeology is the branch of archaeology concerned with the practical investigation and documentation of archaeological sites through systematic fieldwork. It involves the application of techniques such as surveying, excavation, mapping, sampling, recording, and the recovery of artifacts and other cultural remains. Field archaeology aims to uncover and preserve evidence of past human activities while maintaining accurate records of site contexts and stratigraphy. The course introduces students to the methods, tools, and ethical practices used in archaeological research, emphasizing the importance of careful data collection and analysis in reconstructing ancient societies, settlement patterns, and cultural development.
